"Our June performance reflects the overall softness in Canadian auto sales, but the Canadian-built Chevrolet Impala had a strong month increasing sales by 30.2%," says Marc Comeau, GM of Canada's vice-president of sales, service and marketing. "The Oshawa Car Plant, that builds the Impala, was recognized in June for its continuing quality leadership, winning the J.D. Power and Associates silver plant award for initial quality. Another Canadian-built vehicle, the next generation Chevrolet Equinox will be arriving in dealerships this month and is expected to be a strong performer delivering the best highway fuel consumption of any vehicle in its segment."
